2020年,实施了封锁控制措施,以防止世界许多地方的新型冠状病毒病19(COVID-19)大流行,这在很大程度上减少了人类活动。这里,我们使用北京32个站点的观测数据,检测了2020年PM2.5,NO2,SO2,CO和O3浓度与2018年和2019年相比的周周期变化。2018年PM2.5、NO2、SO2和CO年平均浓度存在不同的周周期,而周末效应在2020年发生了变化。此外,2020年PM2.5、NO2、SO2、O3浓度周周期幅度较2018年下降29.60-69.26%,较2019年下降4.49-47.21%。我们认为,周末效应的变化和每周周期幅度的减少可能与COVID-19封锁控制有关,这改变了人类的工作和生活方式周期,并减少了周末比工作日更多的人为空气污染物排放。
In 2020, lockdown control measures were implemented to prevent a novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic in many places of the world, which largely reduced human activities. Here, we detect changes in weekly cycles of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO and O3 concentrations in 2020 compared to 2018 and 2019 using the observed data at 32 stations in Beijing. Distinct weekly cycles of annual average PM2.5, NO2, SO2 and CO concentrations existed in 2018, while the weekend effects changed in 2020. In addition, the weekly cycle magnitudes of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and O3 concentrations in 2020 decreased by 29.60-69.26% compared to 2018, and 4.49-47.21% compared to 2019. We propose that the changing weekend effects and diminishing weekly cycle magnitudes may be tied to the COVID-19 lockdown controls, which changed human working and lifestyle cycles and reduced anthropogenic emissions of air pollutants on weekends more than weekdays.
